On This Day in Nintendo History: Helmet; Family Computer Disk System; The Legend of Zelda; Star Fox; Game Boy Camera and more

#On this day (February 21) in Nintendo history...

  • Helmet was released in 1981 for the Game & Watch Gold in Japan. In this action game, developed by Nintendo R&D1, the construction workers are trying to get from the building to the shed, but tools are raining down from above. Move each construction worked from the building on the left to the shed on the right without being hit by the falling tools. The shed door closes sometimes, so you have to move back and forth. The longer each worker spends outside, the more tools fall.

  • Crab Grab was released in 1984 for the Game & Watch Super Color in Japan. In this action game, developed by Nintendo R&D1, Mr. Grab must clear the Demon Crabs from the top row of the screen, but when he pushes them off of the top of the screen, they reappear at the bottom and stack. There are four columns of Demon Crabs. Move Mr. Grab and push the Demon Crabs off the top of the screen.When you do, they reappear on the bottom and may attack, so move out of their way.

  • Family BASIC V3 was released in 1985 for the Family Computer in Japan. This programming utility, developed by Hudson Soft with Nintendo and Sharp, is an updated version of Family BASIC, featuring more built-in games and a simplified user-interface. Family BASIC allows the user to program simple game in the customised BASIC language NS-HUBASIC (developed by Nintendo, Sharp and Hudson Soft).

  • The Family Computer Disk System was released in 1986 in Japan. A peripheral for Nintendo's Family Computer home video game console. It uses proprietary floppy disks called "Disk Cards" for cheaper data storage and it adds a new high-fidelity sound channel for supporting FDS games. Its name is sometimes shortened as Famicom Disk System or simply Disk System, and abbreviated as FCDS, FDS, or FCD. The Famicom Disk System briefly served as an enabling technology for the creation of a new wave of home console video games and a new type of video game experience, mostly due to tripling the size of cheap game storage compared to affordable cartridge ROMs, and by storing gamers' progress within their vast new adventures. These games include the open world design and enduring series launches of The Legend of Zelda (1986) and Metroid (1986), with its launch game Zelda considered to be one of the greatest games of all time due mostly to its expansivenes

How do I set up a system where my family members can only access a small portion of my hard disk and computer while they are learning how to use a computer by tinkering?

I have a Lenovo Ideapad 100 laptop running on Windows 10.

I am out of home for 14 hours a day and it barely gets used. I wanted to teach a few members of my family how to use a computer.

For that, I need to set up a system where they can only access only certain folders or sub-partition/sectors/spaces on my HDD and nothing else. I need a system where they can tinker with it and learn it but cannot break anything or access the rest of my computer because I have personal files on it.

Any suggestions on what I can do in this situation?

#On this day (June 14) in Nintendo history...

#####Releases

  • Family Computer Golf: U.S. Course was released in 1987 for the Family Computer Disk System in Japan. In this sports game, developed by HAL Laboratory, hit the ball across the greens using the power meter to determine the accuracy and drive of your swing. A golf game starring Mario, with greens modelled after American courses. You score points if you get the ball into the hole within par. Avoid sandtraps and water obstacles that litter the courses.

  • Famicom Tantei Club: Kieta Kōkeisha (Disk 2) was released in 1988 for the Family Computer Disk System in Japan. In this adventure game, developed by Nintendo, you are discovered unconscious at the foot of a cliff by a man named Amachi with no memory of who you are or how you got there. After recovering you meet a girl named Ayumi who explains that you are an assistant investigator for Utsugi's Detective Agency, investigating the suspicious death of Kiku Ayashiro, head of the Ayashiro corporation and owner of a vast estate.

  • Tetris was released in 1989 for the Game Boy in Japan. In this puzzle game, developed by Bullet-Proof Software with Nintendo, the famous block-slotting puzzler is renowned as one of the world's greatest games - easy to pick up, yet impossible to put down! There are two main modes: A-Type and B-Type. A-Type is an endurance game that challenges you to rack up a huge score by clearing lines while the Tetronimos fall faster and faster.

  • Donkey Kong was released in 1994 for the Game Boy in Japan. In this platform/puzzle game, developed by *Nintendo EAD with Pax Softnica, Donkey Kong has once again kidnapped Pauline! Challenged by many perils, Mario must meet his arch-rival in order to save our damsel in distress. As Mario makes his way through a series of platforms while jumping and dodging obstacles, he will also need to gather disappearing keys to unlock doors to hidden rooms. Donkey Kong will stop at nothing to confuse and trap our hero.

Serious question: How are you guys doing FDE / encrypting System Partition(requires converting to or having MBR) when some computers have hard disks with >2 TB Space?

So, i have a computer with two disks in it, a HDD and SSD, both are far less than the MBR limit of 2 TB

It came as UEFI, so i had to convert the SDD to MBR to be able to encrypt the system partition-
But there's a good chance my next computer will have both the HDD and SSD be at least 2tb each, possibly 3 ...

(laptops )

-SO, it got me to wondering- are you all ,just forsaking FDE/encrypting your system partition?

or are most people not running hard disks > 2 tb? I know its still not too common for laptops- but or desktop users, I'd imagine you'all are in trouble there- and making encrypted volumes isn't quite the same, in all aspects...
